Using @mention in the planner comment box
Does Microsoft have plans to add on the planner app, under the commenting function, calling out someone, using @mention function?

Plain vanilla feature in other collaboration planning tools, but MS cannot implement... Epic fail.

I've counted another 800 votes for the comment @username. Jira does it already, need to compete to get user adoption and switch.

Planner comments are simply an email in the group inbox. Access the email in the inbox allows for @ mentions and other email function. It would be useful if entering the comments in the planner card provided the same functionality that already exists in the group inbox.

I really don't understand why the @mention feature is not available yet and also "We should be able to assign checklist actions to different people " Not having these simple features makes me miss Trello.
If you can't or don't want to do it, could you at least explain the reason?
Thanks! -

The "mention" functionality is great. However, any assigned persons should always get a notification email when a comment is added. But, nobody ever needs a notification email when they comment on a task themselves.

This would be a very beneficial feature. It's hard to believe it isn't already available. I've seen users asking for this for a few years now. Development, please roll this feature out!

This is a function everyone allready use in Teams and should be a small piece of cake to solve in Planner. Would be a great help for all collaborative Planners.

Having this necessary feature will allow me to notify a user of when something needs their attention. Not sure why this doesn't work as per the teams environment.
